EDITORIAL COMMENT Harrisonburg Offers Unique Advantages

__ . * (Continued from Page One) We believe the location of the state teachers college on a bluestone hill

in the heart of the historic Shenandoah Valley is within itself an outstanding advantage. Aside from the mountain air, pure water, and other healthful points of the location, there are features decidely inspirational. The very history and atmosphere of the valley, the southern gentleness of the town, of Harrisonburg, the truly uplifting mountain views—all—contribute to- ward helping the college student derive the most from his work. •

In the second place, we point with pride to our physical plant, especially to our modern dormitories and administration hall. The well-planned campus the regular walks, the gray stone buildings with their red tile roofs present an appearance of tidiness, industry, and prosperity that should be characteris- tic of a teachers college.

We note in the third place a thing that should come first, but too often follows as a secondary consideration in the minds of prospective college stu- dents; namely, the curricula and faculty. It is said that Harrisonburg has a greater proportion of people holding Ph. D.'s among its instructors than any other teachers college in the state. A wide range for the choice of a curriculum is afforded. Aside from the regular four-year academic course leading to a B. S. or A. B. degree in high school education or a non-professional A. B., and the two-year professional curricula, Harrisonburg offers especially outstanding courses in home economics, music, physical education, and four- year elementary work. While teacher education is naturally foremost in all the courses, the purely cultural part of college work is not neglected.

Along with other teachers colleges in the state, Harrisonburg satisfactorily places practically all of its graduates. This year, according to early reports, promises to be even brighter than usual for students completing their work at H. T. C.

In the final place, we believe Harrisonburg draws a great number of students Ibecause of the wholesome attitude prevalent on the campus. We are not flattering ourselves when we consider the spirit of friendliness and informality found at H. T. C. unique for a college with an enrollment of over 800. Worthwhile extra-curricula activities play an important part in campus life. Some local organizations, especially the college Glee Club, are recognized throughout the State. The many recreational opportunities offered by the college also contribute their part toward drawing the students together in a wholesorite; -happy association.

A desire for growth pervades the college from dormitory to classroom and from student to president. Changes are made as they are considered necessary and new features are constantly added. It is this alertness, combin- ed with the "many advantages already existing, that attracts high school graduates and sweeps them on with other students toward more splendid collegiate attainment.

With the many opportunities that the campus of H. T. C. affords, it seems that more constructive ways of usiny leisure time could be employed by those having it. Many of us have hours in which we are free from classes and work—do we use it as a means of improving ourselves in culture, hap- piness, for a better citizen and a better neighbor on campus or do we use it in an ineffective way?

This prdblem challenges the na- tion, the state, the county, and the community. Likewise it challenges the students here on our campus. The town drug stores afford the usual loaf- ing place, where many of the students rush as soon as classes are out; often a whole Saturday afternoon is spent just wandering around down town without any particular purpose in view. There are certain rooms in the dormitories which have become a place for daily and nightly gatherings. Why do such conditions exist? Mostly, because leis- ure time activities are neglected.

Education of one does not auto- matically stop; education, good or bad, h a continuous thing, during all our waking hours—these hours are im- portant in helping to build characters and in revealing our real personalities. Should we^ not spend these hours ad- vantageously?

The school campus furnishes many means for leisure time pursuits, as or- ganizations, the athletic field, tennis courts, golf course, gymnasium, swim- ming pool, radio room, music rooms and library. These facilities of this type afford us not only entertainment and recreation but also opportunity for physical and mental growth through the expression of our interest, ideas, ideals, tastes, knowledge, and appreci- ation.

With all of this in view, let us, therefore, take an interest in something besides the everyday common things of life and try to use our time for our own betterment and wholesome living.

"Virginia Teacher" Review

"This is a period when many a social philosopher tries his hand at propos- ing some sort of Utopia," declares Dean W. J. Gifford, in the May 1935 edition of The Virginia Teacher. In his article, the dean presents a review of several recent stimulating books. Of Walter Lippman, author of the Preface to Morals, Dr. Gifford claims one finds him "the most conservative of them all." Upon turning to George Soule who wrote A Planned Society, Dr. Gifford says, "for Soule, capital- ism has collapsed." The writer de- clares further that Harold Lacki has shown in some lectures that he be- lieves as does Soule that "capitalist democracy" is doomed. Tray J. Cou- ley, finds that capitalism has failed the farmer, Dr. Gifford points out. Liberalism is John Dewey's cure for the situation.

Miss Gertrude Robinson shows in her article which she titles All the Children of All the People, that the teachers of Virginia play a leading role in determining the ratification of a code that will make for nation-wide, uniform legislation to assure equal rights to all children.

By reproducing ten interesting essays written by pupils in the eighth grade, Katherine Burnette, Leesville; and Mary Vernon Montgomery, Basker- ville; show how successful these stu- dents are in writing this type of paper. The essays are particularly noteworthy because they point out how well the children can present concrete details, "the result of keen observation."

in values and to solve mathematical prob- lems.

It would probably take this entire column to express all the things we would like to include in the final editorial of the year. For this reason, we must skip around, making a few most sincere comments and leaving much of the conventional farewells unsaid.

Doubtlessly, the graduating classes are too full of their own thoughts of leaving H. T. C. and starting out in new fields of work, to care very much about plans for the next term. We respect their feelings and shall condense our pans and reviews as much as possible. But before we go on, let us say that we congratulate the seniors and graduating sophomores and wish them all suc- cess in whatever undertaking they may meet.

In regard to this year's work, we wish to express to the faculty and stu- dents our sincerest appreciation for their splendid co-operation. We feel that this was unbroken when the new officers took over the publication. Speaking especially for the last quarter, when we have had the opportunity and responsibility of editing the paper, we again thank each one who has con- tributed toward its progress.

We hope some progress has been realized. As is natural for new workers, we have made mistakes, but we shall not regret them if they have been the means of opening up new fields of attainment.

For the last time this year, let us emphasize the fact that the BREEZE is at all times open for suggestions and criticisms ffom its readers. The staff will be reorganized next fall; more new features will be added to the columns; new and more worthwhile ideas will be expressed through the editorials. In short, we hope to do more toward carrying out the three-fold aim of the BREEZE:

to present as accurately as possible all the news of the college, to reflect and direct student opinion, and to contribute, as a well-organized extra-curricular activity, to the welfare of the college.

One word I should like to say, for the juniors who will next year enter Senior Hall. We who are leaving it have tested it, and found it to be be- yond all our dreams for life as we should like to see it lived at H. T. C. We have discovered its many good points and some bad ones. It is one fault which could, we think, be rem- edied, that I should like to bring to your attention.

The trains which pass several times a day make some smoke and soot that has to be contended with; but the amount is negligible compared to the soot and cinders that pour from the chimney of the kitchen. To sweep your room,' and return several hours later to find the floor and furniture covered with a thin film of gritty smut, does not inspire sweet tempers or sweet dreams. It is, of-course, the rooms on the back which suffer most. We who have lived here for many weeks wonder if something cannot be done about it. Are there not smoke- consumers that could be made to dp away with this excess carbon? Are, there not means by which this annoy-' ance could be reduced to a minimum? For the sake of those who will come after us we should like to advocate ac- tion on this matter as soon as possible.

\

SHOULD ANTS BE ABOLISHED

Again we ask you to' do some straight thinking. The best way to answer the above question is to imagine the predicament of six hundred and fifty college girls without the species of monomonium paraonis that com- monly infests a dormjtory. They would have no innocent creatures up- on which to vent their feelings, no source of wholesome recreation or no flavoring for prized delicacies.

The young ladies would have less occasion for screaming. This condi- tion would give us the opinion that either the school was becoming less voice-conscious or that the girls were totally lacking in enthusiasm.

The fussing fits would be less fre- quent, perhaps. We use this term be- cause we are not sure. We grant that it is in the nature of college girls to fuss at something, and if these must be a substitute'. for ants, think what that would do to the room-mate.

The absence of ants would be detri- mental in another respect. It would leave hundreds of girls without play- fellows, without creatures to race with their pencil leads, to sizzle and fry on the radiators, or to smash, torment, and resmash between the pages of a favorite psychology book.

But these are only minor matters in comparison with the lack of relish in the consumption of these boxes that are sent from home were there no ants to supply the cinnamon and nutmeg that have been lost in the mail.

Lastly we should consider the case for the poor reddish creatures. Are they to be expelled f^om their lux- orious quarters in a dormitory to the cruel and relentless earth without? True, their lot at present is far above that of the ordinary ant. Their strug- gle for existence has been lightened by kind-hearted mothers who send food to their starving daughters and by in- active, starving daughters who leave crumbs and bits of food being in the same spot .from Saturday to Saturday. But does this give any reason for low- ering the position of the red ant? Were his quarters other than a dormitory he would have to fight and labor just ike his cousins. A pitiable state! But

this shall not be his if college maids continue to act their ages and use their minds.

If you agree that the red ant should Ibe exterminated, do something about it. • M -i

Be careful that the itch to succeed doesn't make you rash.

The trouble with getting wise to yourself is that it may make you foolish.

A woman writer tells girls they should never marry a man who talks loud. At least it is sound-advice.

"The life that would be complete; that would be sweet and sane, as well as strong, must be softened and enrich- ed by a love of the beautiful," stated Miss Van Landingham, mentioning in- stances in everyday experiences. Con- tinuing, the speaker stated, "The Cre- ator has not covered the world with loveliness, filled it with music, and spread the beauties of earth and sea on every hand for nothing. Man is the explanation of this lavishness of beauty."

In conclusion, she said, "Fortunate is the person who has been educated to the perception of beauty; he pos- sesses a heritage of which no reverse can rob him. Yet it is a heritage pos- sible to all who will take trouble to begin early in life to cultivate the finer qualities of the soul, the eye, and the heart."

SENIOR LIFE SAVING PASSED BY ELEVEN

Eleven students have passed senior life-saving tests, according to the com- plete list given out by Julia Duke, of- ficial examiner. They include: Mar- garet Schoene, Blacksburg; Peggy Byer, Hagerstown; Mary Adler, New York; jMildrfed Gartrison, Harrison- burg; Ruth Schilling, Bloomfield, New Jersey; Lilie Buchanan, Waynesboro; Mattje Ellison, Richmond; Janet Bak- er, Washington; Lora Beazley, Char- lottesville; Mary Evelyn Kanode, Blacksburg; and Elizabeth Dalke, Woodstock.

Not all the entrants have finished their tests as this goes to press.

PAIN

If I could forget for an hour That you do not love me, Then might I find consolation In lesser things.

Not while you live and breathe Can my soul be free; Nor can I quiet the sorrow My tired heart sings,

Dreams that we built together That will nevermore be; Nor the long agony, weeping, That each day brings.

Your love was glorious, vivid; Your eyes could I see Always before me, giving My spirit wings.

If I could forget for an hour That you dq not love me, Then might I find consolation In lesser things.

Reception Get

Rooms New Radios

Providing for the long felt need of a reception room in each of the dormi- tories, a room is being refinished and furnished in each dormitory for this purpose. Radios have been installed in the recreation rooms already arranged in Senior Hall and Johnston Hall. They will also be placed in the other build- ings when the rooms are ready for use.

Students are urged to note regula- tions regarding the use of these rooms, so that everyone may derive the fullest enjoyment from them. o

planets in the sky and their relations to each other. Stories about the con- stellations were told by the children.

Miniature gardens planned to attract birds, specimens of all kinds of ferns, and wild flowers added beauty to the exhibit.

The history department gave three displays, the first of which was a unit on transportation. This unit included drawings showing the development of transportation from carts to airplanes, an exhibit of airplanes and ships, and a display of two tracks of electric trains.

The second unit was on the World War and consisted of graphs and post- ers showing the results and cost of the War, of electric blinkers to show the cost of War in money and life, and of World War Relics.

"Not in splendid isolation, but in courageous co-operation" was the theme of the third unit which con- cerned the inter-dependence of nations. Exhibits of materials and articles used in everyday life in different countries were on display. The ushers for the exhibit were dressed to represent dif- ferent countries.

Tables, cedar chests of all types and sizes, book racks, bird houses, book ends, and-«oat racks were the contri- bution of the manual training classes to the exhibit.

Each child in every class had some part in and was responsible for some part of the exhibit. o ■

There will be ample opportunities for the students to enjoy varied recrea- tions.

to,—Miss Marbut has promised me in the fall an interview about her trip abroad this summer, if she goes.)

It was my good fortune to find both the Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln at their home. The interview brought a de- lightful mixture of comments and re- sponses from both Mr. and Mrs. Lin- coln at the same time.

Before I could begin to ask questions the two of them suggested (one filling in where the other left off), "Any- thing the students want to know they come here to find out—that covers the general situation."

"What question are yolu greeted with most?" Tasked.

"What time can I get a bus? What is the first bus I can get?" Mrs. Lin- coln says those are the main ques- tions.

"What is your general impression of the girls?" I directed at Mr. Lincoln.

"This year's the best lot tffcy've ever had," he answered without hesi- tation. "I've heard less complaint about them than any. They are more satisfied student body than those before, it seems."

"Do you take much notice of the girl's dress?" I asked. •» Here both willingly expressed them- selves, s - «■*

From Mr. Lincoln: "They're far bet- ter than they used to be, not as many girls partially dressed, they're more fully clothed when they come over here than students of other years.

From the Mrs.: "There aren't near as many gym suits covered, by "coats or without coats. The girls used to come over any time with anything on. Those things have been noticeabl there's been improvement in that line."

I asked some general questions about the store. The main business is the post office and the rest a kind of side- line. The store has always been the size it now is and has always had a complete stock that it now carries. Snapshot development trade hasn't been as large as it used to be.

"The girls used to take pictures of any and everything," said Mrs. Lin- coln.

The girls buy groceries there. "Such as they can use—open a can and eat it without further preparation," sup- plied her husband.

"How long have you operated the store?"

"Nine years, nine years in October, they said.

"What made you start the store?" I asked wondering at the ideal location.

"Necessity!" they both exclaimed laughing.

I know that's a very personal ques- tion, and some people would be sensi- tive about it," I said.

"I'm never sensitive 'bout anything when it's the truth, but look out when it isn't"; said Mr. Lincoln.

The store has served its purpose— we've lived on it for nine years," he added.

Mrs. Lincoln had left the room for a while. I asked Mr. Lincoln if there was any special interest he'd like me to note.

He called his wife, " 'Hon,' come here!" "She's the general boss," he said to me out of the corner of his mouth.

"Now are there any suggestions you'd like to make?" he instructed her.

"Well—no, but we're always anx- ious to see the girls back in the fall, not only from a business standpoint but from personal contact. From the time summer school closes and the fall quarter begins, we figure they've all died," both suggested.

,Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln were in busi- ness eight years in Philadelphia. Dur- ing the war the neighborhood changed. Neighborhoods change in large cities more easily than they do in small towns it was explained to me. They moved from there to a farm out in the coun- try in Delaware. Family changes caused the next move and so for nine years "Line's" has served the students.

Monday

"Contrary to popular belief, gradu- ates of the Teachers Colleges nearly always secure positions," said Dr. S. P. Duke in Chapel Monday, May 27. In reviewing a pamphlet which he has prepared on the contributions of the teachers colleges of the state, their financing, and the A.B. Degree in these schools, Dr. Duke also said that students in these institutions pay about 90% of the total cost of their

education. The Virginia teachers col- leges receive less money per capita

from the state than any other teachers colleges in the United States except those in Tennessee and North Carolina. Among other interesting facts, he also said that the teachers colleges educate a larger per cent of Virginia girls than any of the other women's colleges of the state.

Students are urged to make them- selves familiar with this pamphlet. Copies may be found in the library.

Friday Chapel Following the devotionals led by

Dr. H. G. Pickett in chapel, Friday, May 24, the chorus of Waterman School, under the direction of Miss Madeline English, presented a very at- tractive program. Miss English was a former student at H. T. C.

The participants in the program showed an understanding of harmony unusual for children of the elementary grades. The numbers given were: Questions; Capital Ship; Song of Af- ternoon; Oh, No, John; Slumber; and Sea Dreams.

The "goats" presented their annual program in Page Literary Society meet- ing, Friday night, May 24. The an- nouncers and "properties" were Vir- ginia Duncan and Elizabeth Firebaugh. The program consisted of a tap dance by Marian Sampson; a comedy dialogue by Elizabeth Bywaters and Jane Epps; a tango by Emily Bushong and Jane Lockwood; a song by Jennie Spratley; and a selection on the mouth harp by Susan Quinn.

Garden Club Dutch and English Gardens were

the subjects for discussion in the last meeting of the Garden Club for this year, held Thursday, May 23.

Holland, which has been calfed Europe's flower garden, has some of the loveliest spots of all. For privacy in this crowded country, most gardens are surrounded by fruit trees. Each flower is raised to be a specimen.

The keynote of the English cottage garden is that flowers are planted in every available space, and often in al- ternate rows with the vegetables.

After a short business session the meeting was adjourned. o
